Belatucadrus Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 The input language has reset to English US for some reason :-Go into Regional and Language options, check that English (United Kingdom) is set on the Regional Options and Advanced tabs, then open the Languages tab and click the Details button to open the Text services and Input languages window. Check the settings tab and make sure that both the Default input language and Keyboard Installed services are set to English United Kingdom and not US. Then delete the US keyboard options before OKing the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
